The meaning behind Pippa Middleton's new short hair

Pippa Middleton has stolen a beauty move from her big sister Kate by chopping her hair into a chic bob.

The 34-year-old was recently spotted riding her bike through the streets of London, wearing faded gray skinny jeans and a $179 Rails Hunter checkered shirt — with her highlighted brown hair chopped to a shoulder-length bob.

The new ’do signals a fresh start for the newlywed, who married her financier boyfriend James Matthews on May 20 and jetted off to a honeymoon in French Polynesia and Australia, where the couple scaled the Sydney Harbor Bridge and flew to lunch in a tiny seaplane.

In July, two months before sharing news of her current pregnancy, Kate chopped her hair into a lob (a long bob), which she debuted at Wimbleton. When she was pregnant with now 2-year-old Princess Charlotte, the duchess repeatedly wore her hair half up, and while carrying Prince George, now 4, she suddenly got bangs.

In August, US magazine reported that Pippa and Matthews “are currently trying for a baby” and that “it’s long been a dream for Kate and Pippa to be pregnant at the same time.”

If shorter hair is Pippa’s way of breaking baby news, there’s no chicer way to do it.
